About Agility Care
Agility Care is a residential care home in Chelmsford supporting adults with a range of needs, including older people and younger adults, people with a learning disability, autistic adults and people with a physical disability. Our starting point is the person rather than the diagnosis. We take time at the outset to understand how somebody likes their day to run, what they can manage themselves, where they want help and what makes things go wrong, and we plan the support from there. That plan is reviewed properly, because needs change and support that is never revisited slowly stops fitting. Day to day, staff provide help with personal care, with moving about safely, with medication and with meals, and they are trained for the specific needs of the people they support. Where somebody communicates differently, we learn how and we make sure that the choices we offer are genuine. People here are supported to have a life beyond the building, keeping up interests and activities, getting out into Chelmsford and staying in touch with family and friends. Respite and short stays can be arranged where they are appropriate. If you are looking for a placement or a short stay in Essex, please contact us and come and see us.
